With 14 years at Maker’s Mark under her belt, Jane Bowie knows a thing or two about crafting a timeless bourbon and an iconic brand. Jane, director of innovation for Maker’s Mark and a Kentucky native, talks about the depth of possibilities for bourbon, how the iconic red wax drip on Maker’s Mark bottles came to be (hint- think cognac) and her experience in a male-dominated industry. How did Maker’s Mark go from the scrappy new kid on the block selling one drink at a time, to the iconic brand we know and love today? Find out on this week’s episode of the Spirited Advocate.
